<<<This is a myth, and a popular one at that. All forced induction cars
have a
natural limit to the amount of power that can be made with the stock
turbo/blower. The things only flow so much air, and no matter how much
wizardry
and voodoo you do with boost control devices, _as long as the impellers
and
housings themselves are not modified_, there is an upper limit to the
amount of
power a given motor can make.>>>
Well... not according to the SEB. Due I think to Farzaan's post that you
could get basically infinite boost by deliberately choking off the waste
gate exhaust they are now considering a rule change that would require
SP turbo cars to run with the stock cat system. Good grief! Talk about
instantly uncompetitive! You can _forget_ about the RX7TT in ASP!
<<<I still can't find _anyone_ who gets hurt by allowing boost
controllers in SP.>>>
I agree they should allow them. If they allow any engine management
system on NA cars then fair is fair. But the SCCA has never taken a very
fair stance with turbo cars. In fact, they outlawed them from club
racing a number of years ago. it looks like only a matter of time before
the same thing happens with Solo II...
